Gawd. I can almost see her undergarments. She got a nice little jiggle to it too. I love me some...

Almost.... Heh I learned X-ray booty vision as a child and she got a little something.

Like where are all the fantasy settings based on cultures that aren't European or, to a lesser extent, Asian?

Or why Tolkien and Lewis were so racist?

Spoiler

I love their books so much

Or how come all the scifi set in the far flung future has like 90 percent white people? Are they just going to go to space and leave us on Earth?

Or why a nation of technologically advanced African people is harder to adapt for movies than a planet of alien space gods or a team of interstellar heroes that includes a talking tree and a machine gun shooting raccoon?

. . .

okay I need to step back a minute

Chris Claremont turning the X-Men franchise from 7 white American teens to the United Nations.

 

[G-Fex]

I do wish more comic/sci-fi/etc had some black protagonists.

let me word that better, as a main character I mean.

Strange Days is pretty good

 

[Htown]

Yep.

Also, lightning seems to be a theme.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Cyborg, Bishop, War Machine, Deathlok, Jax

 

[G-Fex]

Yep.

Also, lightning seems to be a theme.

huh...that's ridiculous.

Well maybe it's just some link they tied to black men and machinery.

and black men and electricity apparently.

 

[Htown]

Cyborg, Bishop, War Machine, Deathlok, Jax

At a stretch you could probably include Steel and Geordi LaForge for having cyborg-like appearances to some extent.

huh...that's ridiculous.

My dad had a theory that people didn't want strong black men in those positions without messing up their faces/image a bit. He formed this theory by watching Star Trek: TNG, where the only black dudes on ship had messed up faces.

I never quite bought into that one.

 

[G-Fex]

Hey there's Luke Cage, the power man, he's normal looking.

I think Falcon was normal looking too. Didn't have anything on his face.

 

[Supermanisdead]

I hate Luke Cage ever since he shaved his head and started wearing a tshirt and jeans as his "costume" RIP the silk shirt and tiara.

 

[Jackben]

there's more than one?

Yeah. Here are two choice posts from that thread:

I think it's just easier to sell a fuck awesome black male hero to a white audience by having him "enhanced" in some way. You can't just be a black everyday guy and be great. That's why there is no black Batman or Nathan Drake.

 

[Professor Beef]

Steel? Man, that movie is such a guilty pleasure.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Are there any heroes who are brown?I cant think of any.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Yeah, a few Indian X-Men: Omega Sentinel, Thunderbird III and Indra

I remember finding some crazy good shit on fucking Usenet back in the day, black author, wrote a txt about a hacker who used his hacking knowledge to tweak his friend's biotechnology project to create an 0-ring level reboot for the human body, basically allowing him to consciously rewrite the firmware of the body. He infects himself with this synthetic virus, and it's basically IronMan Extremis before Ellis wrote it. Gives himself increased intelligence, perfect body, creates a sexually transmitted version that cures all diseases, and basically starts creating a new race of enhanced human. This is when the secret government gets involved, apparently they've already done this and plan to shut him down, etc. He left it with an open ending, but it could easily be a blockbuster movie.

Hrm, you could comb the Asimov and Fantasy and Science Fiction archives for good minority work. I'm so horrible with names though, I just plain don't remember them.


edit:
America is afraid that if they portray Wakanda too positively, Nigeria might get the wrong idea, annex the Congo and everything in between, and shut down all borders to the white man.
